[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1929228, member: 204485"] What you have are not exactly aliases assuming the name remains the same it doesnt matter what server you use; @mac.com, @me.com, @icloud.com they are all the same address. An alias is where the "name" is different but linked to your Apple email address. For example [email]brian2@icloud.com[/email] has an alias [email]2nairb@icloud.com[/email]. All email addressed to [email]2nairb@icloud.com[/email] arrive in Brian's [email]brian2@icloud.com[/email] inbox. Brian can send emails, signup for services, and subscribe to sites with the [email]2nairb@icloud.com[/email] address and those sites will never know Brian's real email address. Apple provides an option to create up to three such aliases with whatever name you like (if available) and they can be deleted just as easily. I use one for online shopping. [/QUOTE]
